Andrew, I basically think the U.N. is an ineffectual body. That said, can it hurt for the supposed world to make a statement saying human cloning is beyond the scope of what civilized people do? I doubt it. Does it carry any weight, or should it? Probably not. At the end of the day, Congress needs to act quickly. I suspect we disagree on the merits of limits, you and I, but we’re probably on the same page re: whether much of anything done on the East River there matters much–and frankly, given sovereignty concerns and, at the end of the day, moral authority inexistence, whether it should.
